GoFundMe Set Up For San Diego Shark Attack Victim – A family friend is seeking donations to help cover medical expenses for 13-year-old surfer Keane Hayes

The victim, who has been identified as 13-year-old local surfer Keane Hayes, was taken by helicopter from the beach to Rady Children’s Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgeries.

In the wake of the shark attack at Beacon’s Beach in San Diego’s North County yesterday, a family friend has started a GoFundMe campaign in an effort to pay for the victim’s medical treatment (you can find the campaign by clicking here).

Thanks to the quick response of his fellow divers, Hayes was loaded into a nearby kayak and swiftly taken to the beach where he was stabilized by emergency personnel until the helicopter arrived to take him to the hospital.
